Removing Infections From Your System
Figure 3-10. Network Associates Virus Information Library page
The Virus Information Library has a collection of documents that give you a
detailed overview of each virus that Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus can detect or
clean, along with information about how the virus infects and alters files, and
the sorts of payloads it deploys. The site lists the most prevalent or riskiest
viruses, provides a search engine you can use to search for particular virus
descriptions alphabetically or by virus name, displays prevalence tables,
technical documents, and white papers, and gives you access to technical data
you can use to remove viruses from your system.
To connect directly to the library, visit the site at:

You can also connect directly to the Library from the Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus
Console —choose Virus List from the View menu in the Console window. To

Scheduled Tasks."
